Tutoring Cost
What Is An Average Tutoring Cost?
If you're considering tutoring for your child, you may want to research different options before selecting a tutor or type of tutoring. Average tutoring costs vary throughout the country, but you can expect to pay between $20-80 per hour for a private tutor. If you buy tutoring hours from a private company, like Sylvan Learning or StudyPoint, you may pay more because these types of companies have set rates. These companies, however, vet tutors for you and offer guarantees of improvement.
If you find an individual offering tutoring services, you may be able to negotiate a lower hourly rate. You can find individual tutors in your local newspaper or on Craig's List. You can also find tutors from services like WyzAnt or the National Directory of Tutors.
If you choose online tutoring, you may be able to find a cheaper rate. Some companies, like Tutor Vista, offer unlimited tutoring for a flat monthly fee. Other companies, like Tutor.com, charge by the minute, which is useful for children who need help on just a couple of problems.
To find out about average tutoring costs in your area, you may want to discuss options with your child's teacher.
